Progress with the SV Akkar well has been somewhat hampered by weather and access to site.
Astra Star have now completed mobilisation of the drilling rig to location. The mast has been
raised and installation of mud logging sensors has commenced as rig up continues, prior to final
rig inspection by both JPR and the relevant government officials. These inspections are
anticipated to occur later in the week. Sufficient casing and drill pipe to drill and case the surface
hole have been delivered to location. A firm spud date will be advised as soon as possible.
